Overview
A Little Egyptian style Bombing Run map.
Design
Souldividersjosz did a great job creating this map. The map exists out of one room with four spawning rooms connected to it. All the action takes place in the centre room. The bombing gates are placed on each size of the room, the ball placed in the middle.
A pillar in front of each bombing gate prevents to easy shots.
Texturing and use of meshes is excellent. It all looks very realistic. There isn't a boring flat and simply textured wall to be found. The monitors are a bit out of place in this Egyptian style map. Lightning is well balanced and basically yellow but because of the torches with their red coronas and the blue of the entrance to the spawning room it never becomes dull. Skybox is a bit to complex for this map. It's invisible for the biggest part. The music is well chosen. It fits the theme. You can see and hear birds flying above your head. Nice.
Gameplay
This map is really fun to play. Because of the size of the map the action is max. The only negative about it is that it can become a bit crowded and chaotic using the default player/bot number. Meaning lots off kills and getting killed. There are two weapon types in the map. Namely: The Rocket launcher and the Shock riffle. This ads to the chaos. Everywhere around you there are explosions. Because of this you often loose sight of the ball.
Atmosphere
The right use of textures, meshes, and music creates the right Egyptian feel. Don't like those monitors though. You are right if you think, "just another Egyptian style map". This one is fun to play though and it even looks good.
AI
The bots are doing a good job here. I've noticed the bots tend to go to the back of the Bombing gate to score instead of the front.
Conclusion :)
I had great fun playing this map.
